Dear Dr. Pitts:
I offer for your examination the following question, or paradox:
How is it that an individual who appears to reveal little of himself (or, in Dr. Wiener's opinion, has an intense fear of revealing himself) in therapy would have a high deviant score on the MMPI?
Perhaps the observation that I do not reveal myself is an incorrect, countertransference (irrational) valuation. Note that one could interpret Dr. Wiener's statement "You don't reveal yourself" as a (paranoid) projection/reversal of the statement "I am threatened by how much you see."
Sincerely,
Gary Freedman
